My name is Steve Thom I am a qualified counsellor, providing professional and affordable counselling in Exeter, Teignmouth and online.  I am registered member of the BACP and abide by the BACP Ethical Framework. I wholeheartedly welcome the chance to work with anyone who needs a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental counsellor to talk to.  In addition to that I also have a special interest in working with: Men, particularly those who may be struggling to cope and who find it difficult to reach out for help.  Young People (18 - 24) who may be experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety related to issues such as academic pressure, family and relationship issues, eating difficulties, feeling stuck or confused or uncertainty about future life choices. Anyone who is feeling overwhelmed with the pressures of life or work and who may be experiencing burnout. I am also an experienced and professionally qualified coach and have helped clients with issues such as developing confidence, being more assertive, time management, public speaking and managing difficult working relationships.   My view is that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to counselling. Each individual is unique, and each session is unique. Sometimes there will be a need to be heard and understood, sometimes a need to process past experiences and sometimes a need to prepare for a difficult life choice. The counselling that I offer provides the time and space for you to talk about everything and anything that is troubling you in your life, freely and in confidence.
